COVID PREVENTION OR ACTIONS IF YOU GET COVID

PRECAUTIONS FOR TRAVELERS/FLYERS:

Travelers should stay informed and take simple preventive actions:

  • Frequently and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
  • Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash, or use your inner elbow or sleeve.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
  • Stay home if you’re sick and keep your children home if they are sick.
  • Clean surfaces in your home, and personal items such as cell phones, using regular household products.
  • With the situation evolving rapidly, we encourage the traveling public to follow any guidance offered by the CDC and local and state public health authorities.
  • If you are flying to a destination from Montrose, research local restrictions and health guidance as well as any closures.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO COVID-19

You start showing symptoms (fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath)

  • Stay inside your lodging/residence: People who are mildly ill with COVID-19 may be able to isolate at their lodging/residence during their illness. You should restrict activities outside your lodging/residence, except for getting medical care.
  • Avoid public areas: Avoid public areas as much as possible.
  • Avoid public transportation: Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.
  • Separate yourself from other people. As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people. Also, you should use a separate bathroom, if available.
  • Call ahead before visiting a doctor. Call your medical provider or a nurse line first and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the healthcare provider’s office take steps to keep other people from getting infected.
  • At-risk groups are older individuals and those with serious chronic medical conditions, who should take extra precautions.
